I run windows update but no patches ever show up for windows. Belarc advisor
and It.shavlik both say that I am missing critical and regular patches. Any
thoughts
would be appreciated.

First thought...
Windows _____, _____ Edition, __-bit with Service Pack _ (if applicable)?

Second thought...
What patches do "Belarc Advisor" and "Shavlik" tell you that you need (list
3 or 4...)?

Last thought...
If this is Windows XP or Vista - have you ever installed BETA service packs?

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2;
Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64-bit) when posting in a forum or
newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply.
